Approximate series solution of fourth-order boundary value problems using decomposition method with Green's function

摘要

This paper proposes a new efficient approach for obtaining approximate series solutions to fourth-order two-point boundary value problems. The proposed approach depends on constructing Green's function and Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Unlike existing methods like ADM or modified ADM, the proposed approach avoids solving a sequence of nonlinear equations for the undetermined coefficients. In fact, the proposed method gives a direct recursive scheme for obtaining approximations of the solution with easily computable components. We also discuss the convergence and error analysis of the proposed scheme. Moreover, several numerical examples are included to demonstrate the accuracy, applicability, and generality of the proposed approach. The numerical results reveal that the proposed method is very effective and simple.
